Goldsby Added to Bellator 135-Pound Tournament

On the strength of his upset of UFC, WEC, Pride and Strikeforce
veteran Jeff Curran,
Bryan
Goldsby has been added to Bellator’s season three bantamweight
tournament.

Goldsby, of Macon, Ga., bested Curran in April at Bellator 14 to
earn his shot in the bracket, which kicks off on Aug. 12 at the
Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla.

“Bryan Goldsby is one of those guys, very much like Toby Imada,
whose record does not reflect the tremendous skill and potential
that he brings to the sport,” stated Bellator Chairman and CEO
Bjorn Rebney in a Thursday press release. “He has very solid
stand-up game mixed with speed and wrestling, which he displayed in
his impressive victory over Jeff Curran, and that makes him an
difficult match up for anyone in this tournament.”

“When I get in there, I’m comfortable because I can hang wherever
the fight goes,” declared a confident Goldsby. “I feel like I have
the skills to beat anybody, I’m fine with whoever they decided to
put in front of me. I’m just excited for the opportunity and
itching to get this thing started.”
